I received an e-mail at my 'home' address - the one I use for banking and financial transactions, including web purchases - telling me that there had been an attempt to activate my pay-pal account from an IP address in Germany, and inviting me to confirm that this was in order. It also listed recent UK activations.

I don't in fact have a pay-pal account - I closed it a couple of years ago. I clicked on the link to what was allegedly the Pay Pal Home Page, and then went to the same page directly. The pages were very similar, but not identical. It smells like some kind of phishing, and I'd like to report the matter to Pay Pal - but (irritatingly but typically!) there is no contact URL on the home page and, as I don't have an account, I can't log in. I'd especially like a contact URL, but any other suggestions from those who know about these things would be more than welcome!


For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
